Level and duration of the scholarship

The scholarship is not an amount of money that you will receive in your bank account, but consists of a partial tuition waiver. The tuition fee will be waived to the level of an EEA student. For example: a grant holder in 2017/2018 will pay a tuition fee of only €2,006, instead of €9,432 or €10,360. In addition the Radboud Scholarship also covers costs such as those for visa, residence permit, health insurance and liability insurance. This amounts to about €725.

In the case of a two-year programme: to qualify for the grant during the second year, you need to have passed all courses in the first year.

Eligibility requirements

You will only be eligible to obtain a Radboud Scholarship if you:

hold a non-EU/EEA passport

Selection criteria

From the eligible candidates the Radboud Scholarship holders will be selected based on the following criteria:

Talent: this means that you must have outstanding study results in your present field of study

You are expected to be a promising student in your desired field of study at Radboud University

The application for admission and the application for the scholarship is fully integrated, there is no separate application procedure for the scholarship. However, the selection for RSP and the admission to the Master's degree programme are two seperate processes. Admission to the programme does not imply selection for RSP.

You apply for a Radboud Scholarship by indicating during your application for admission that you wish to apply for a Radboud Scholarship. You will then be requested to upload three additional documents: two reference letters and a curriculum vitae.

The faculty selects the grant recipients. You will be informed about the final decision by the International Office with respect to your application for a Radboud Scholarship before the end of May 2017. (date subject to change)
